In case you thought left-wing media shops have been merely biased towards Republicans, assume once more. MSNBC is brazenly spewing harmful propaganda on its airwaves and trafficking hate towards MAGA voters with no pushback from its hosts or govt brass.
Throughout a current TV look on MSNBC’s “Deadline: White Home” present with host Nicolle Wallace, former Republican Nationwide Committee Chairman Michael Steele, a RINO (Republican in identify solely) political analyst with the community, in contrast MAGA Republicans to “lice,” “fleas” and “blood-sucking ticks” whom potential GOP Home Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) must “lay down with” ought to conservatives win the bulk within the upcoming midterm elections.
“Kevin McCarthy has not discovered from the historical past of three prior Republican audio system of the Home who’ve all been thrown out by their Republican caucus. Cease and take into consideration that — what Republicans have finished to themselves going again to Newt Gingrich, John Boehner and Paul Ryan, proper?” Steele stated.
“So McCarthy is now subsequent in step with a base that's ready to throw him out ought to they permit him to be speaker,” he added. “Kevin has determined to make his mattress and is ready to lie down with the lice, the fleas and the blood-sucking ticks.”
“And no matter befalls him goes to come back from that relationship — and sadly for the nation, we’re going to should bear the brunt of it,” he stated on TV.
Shockingly, a political analyst on a distinguished cable information outlet was permitted by the community and its MAGA-loathing host, Wallace, to dehumanize hundreds of thousands of Donald Trump-aligned conservatives by evaluating fellow Individuals to parasites for merely having completely different political beliefs from Democrats in energy and RINOs who help them.
Understanding full nicely the risks that despicably inflammatory rhetoric can have, Wallace, a former White Home communications director for George W. Bush, didn’t push again or disagree together with her visitor spewing hate on her present. Nor did the community intervene. As of Wednesday afternoon, not one in every of Steele, Wallace, MSNBC president Rashida Jones or the community has issued a public apology on Twitter or its web site.
The radio silence speaks for itself.
If historical past has taught us something, Individuals — irrespective of your race, faith or political affiliation — ought to by no means demean or dehumanize others to attain low-cost political factors or advance an agenda. We are able to all have points we’re captivated with, however there’s by no means a justification for evaluating fellow human beings to bugs; I don’t care the way you vote.
We are able to possess completely different viewpoints and debate coverage disagreements, however once you echo comparable speaking factors to Adolf Hitler, you’ve misplaced the argument — and the suitable to be on TV — particularly in an age of supposed “range” and “inclusivity” for all.
Is it actually that onerous for the oldsters at MSNBC to have interaction in civilized discussions the place we deal with these with opposing political viewpoints with respect?
Apparently.
Backside line: Nobody has a monopoly on sensible. There are sensible and not-so-smart individuals on each side of the aisle. America can be a significantly better nation if all of us acknowledged that actuality and stopped the extraordinarily divisive rhetoric tearing our nation aside.
